Catalog Number - 47240-10-C

47240-10-C ARE‑Applied Research PTFE Tubing is a high‑purity, low‑pressure fluid transfer solution engineered for HPLC, UHPLC, LC‑MS, and general laboratory applications, offering enhanced flow capacity, extended continuous length, and visual differentiation for system organization.

Manufactured from 100% virgin PTFE resin, this tubing contains no additives or plasticizers, except for trace pigment used for visual identification, ensuring minimal contamination risk and compatibility with sensitive analytical methods.

Supplied on a convenient 25 meter spool, this configuration is ideal for high‑volume usage, OEM integration, and custom system builds.

Precision Dimensions – Optimized for Higher Flow

• Inner Diameter (ID): 0.010" (0.25 mm)

• Outer Diameter (OD): 1/16" (1.6 mm)

• Wall Thickness: 0.675 mm

• Tolerance (ID & OD): ± 0.10 mm

✅ Larger ID provides higher flow rates and reduced restriction compared to smaller ID tubing

Blue Pigmentation – Visual Line Identification

• Blue‑pigmented PTFE for easy visual identification

• Assists with:

  • Multi‑line system organization

  • Solvent line differentiation

  • Maintenance and troubleshooting

✅ Supports clear, organized fluid routing without implying functional color coding

Low‑Pressure Chromatography Performance

• Designed for low‑pressure fluid paths, including:

  • Pre‑pump mobile phase delivery

  • Post‑detector waste lines

  • General solvent transfer

• Pressure Rating: 800 psi (55.2 bar)

✅ stable and reliable solvent handling over long tubing runs

Virgin PTFE Construction – High Purity & Inertness

• Manufactured from 100% virgin PTFE

• No additives (except trace pigment)

• Chemically inert and non‑reactive

✅ Minimizes contamination risk in LC‑MS and high‑sensitivity workflows

Broad Chemical & Thermal Resistance

• Resistant to:

  • Organic solvents

  • Acids and bases

  • Aqueous mobile phases

Micro‑Porous Structure – Application Consideration

• PTFE tubing contains micropores allowing slight gas exchange

• Important when working with:

  • Degassed solvents

  • Oxygen‑sensitive applications

✅ Consider alternative materials where gas impermeability is critical

Flexible & Durable Design

• Flexible for long‑distance routing and system integration

• Durable for repeated lab use

• Maintains visibility of flow paths despite pigmentation

✅ Enhances installation efficiency and system maintenance

Spool Format – High Volume Efficiency

• Supplied on a 25 meter spool

• Ideal for:

  • Bulk laboratory use

  • Custom cut lengths

  • OEM manufacturing

✅ Reduces handling complexity and improves workflow efficiency

Regulatory Compliance

✅ Custom cut lengths available through Customer Service

Typical Applications

• Extended HPLC mobile phase delivery (pre‑pump)

• Long solvent waste line routing

• Multi‑line systems requiring visual differentiation

• Low‑pressure fluid transfer systems

• OEM and instrument integration

Important Usage Notes

• Not intended for high‑pressure HPLC pump head connections

• Blue color is for visual identification only, not functional coding

• Consider permeability for degassed or oxygen‑sensitive solvents

• Use proper fittings to ensure secure connections
